Well you can cheat. You can make it in Mail for instance, save the
e-mail as draft and drag and drop it to the desktop.
This generates an .elm file that can then also be dragged and dropped in
Entourage.
Copy what you want to copy and paste as a signature in Entourage and
you're set
You can even edit one that was provided as one of the signature samples
by MS. Open it in TextWrangler and edit all you want.
I took your example and here is the code I get for the .eml file:

It seems to work like a charm.
When I get a chance, I might write a blog post about this...

Edit the .eml in a decent text editor (BBEdit, TextWrangler...)

??? Not sure I'm following you there.

Yep,

About 2 zillion people (serach this group).
You can add your voice to the choir by using the Send Feedback command
in Entourage itself.
